Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A frequency of an unnecessary operation of automatic braking due to a reflected wave from a guard rail is decreased. When a collision avoidance control unit determines that an obstacle detected by a radar sensor and an own vehicle are highly likely to collide with each other, the collision avoidance control unit reads a state signal output by a parking support control unit, and determines whether or not the state signal indicates a specific state, which is a state where parallel parking support is being carried out or a state where exit support is being carried out. When the state signal indicates the specific state, the collision avoidance control unit inhibits the automatic braking.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A driving support device for a vehicle, comprising: a rear-end collision avoidance support system for using a radar sensor to detect an obstacle approaching a backward travel route of an own vehicle so as to cross the backward travel route, and operating automatic braking of the own vehicle when the obstacle is highly likely to collide with the own vehicle; a parking support system having at least a parallel parking function, for automatically steering a steered wheel so that the own vehicle travels along a target path for parking the own vehicle at a target parking position; state determination means for determining whether or not a specific state where the parking support system carries out an operation of parallel parking the own vehicle holds true; and automatic braking inhibition means for inhibiting an operation of the automatic braking by the rear-end collision avoidance support system when the specific state is determined to hold true. 2. A driving support device for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein: the parking support system includes a parallel parking exit function of automatically steering the steered wheel so that the own vehicle travels along a target path for causing the own vehicle to exit from a parallel parking state; and the specific state includes a state where the parking support system carries out an operation of causing the own vehicle to exit from the parallel parking state.
